FAQs
How do terracotta watering spikes work?
Terracotta watering spikes work through a natural process of slow water release. When filled with water, these self watering spikes gradually release moisture through the porous terracotta material, allowing your plant’s roots to absorb water as needed. This prevents both overwatering and underwatering, keeping your soil perfectly balanced.
How often do I need to refill self watering spikes?
Refill frequency depends on the plant’s water needs and the spike’s capacity. Check the reservoir every 3-7 days and refill as needed.
How do I refill the plant watering globes?
Our plant watering globes feature a simple top fill design. Just remove the cork top, fill the globe with water, and insert it into the soil near the plant’s roots. The terracotta material will automatically regulate the water flow for consistent moisture.
How long do self watering spikes last between refills?
Depending on soil type, pot size, and climate, each spike in our SmartiLiving Terracotta Watering Spikes set can provide consistent hydration for 7 to 14 days. They’re ideal for vacations, busy routines, or daily plant care without constant watering.
Are self watering globes safe for indoor and outdoor use?
Absolutely. Our self watering globes are made from natural terracotta clay, making them safe, durable, and effective for both indoor and outdoor plants. Whether it’s your living room, balcony, or garden, they keep your plants healthy and hydrated without any mess.
Are plant watering globes suitable for all types of plants?
Absolutely! Plant watering globes are great for most indoor and outdoor plants including houseplants, herbs, tropical plants, and flowers. For succulents or cacti, use them less frequently since those plants require minimal water.
Can I use the plant watering kit while traveling?
Definitely. The SmartiLiving Plant Watering Kit, which includes terracotta watering spikes and plant watering globes, is designed to keep your plants hydrated for up to two weeks. It’s the perfect solution for travelers who want to return home to happy, healthy plants.
What are plant watering globes and how do they work?
Plant watering globes are self watering tools made to keep your plants perfectly hydrated without daily watering. You simply fill the globe with water and insert it into the soil. The terracotta material slowly releases water through its natural pores, providing steady moisture directly to the roots as the soil dries.
Although I've had indoor plants for years, I've never had a self-watering device. For the plants needing a bit more water or constant humidity, I found these really perked up my little plans. Use two on a bigger plant. Truly terrific and terracotta rather than plastic YEY!
These little pots are fantastic. They last about two to three days certainly not a week. It’s nice if I forget to water
